A locker Room full...

of old ladies today after step class!!!

It was so funny! I was getting out of the little enclosed dressing room, because I still feel like I am 13 and need to be covered from people seeing my lady parts. Why do people feel the need to walk through the locker room nakey by the way? I swear everytime I wander in there to use the bathroom I almost run smack into a naked older lady. I mean really. Can't they just use a towel?

Anyway. As I was finishing getting dressed in private I couldn't help but laugh to myself. The locker room was crowded and loud. At 10am. Why was it so busy you might ask? Because Silver Sneakers was getting ready to start and water aerobics just finished. There were probably 10 or 15 senior ladies in there just gabbing and laughing and gossiping. It sounded like my volleyball team before a big game in the good ol' days.

I loved it. Those old ladies all getting together to exercise and visit after. I hope when I am a senior citizen I will still be making my health a priority. One lady was late because of her husband, another lady said "lucky you" (she probably doesn't have a husband anymore I would venture to bet), and I was just impressed by these older versions of me. They weren't skinny, and if I had to guess-- I would say they make a mean dinner and a delightful batch of chocolate chip cookies like every other Gramma... but these ladies were taking time for themselves first, and I hope I can say the same when I am their age.

Go Silver Sneakers!!
